Reykjavik

We were supposed to arrive before 8:00, but actually got there at 8:15, so be prepared to wait. It turned out some people in the group had a different itinerary: after visiting the geothermal area and doing the volcano walk together, they went straight to the Blue Lagoon, while the others continued with the rest of the tour. At 15:45, the tour returned to the Blue Lagoon to pick up the others, and then everyone headed back to the city center together. Throughout the trip, the tour guide was very dedicated in their explanations. Due to extremely strong winds on the mountain, we didn't reach the summit for safety reasons. Overall, it was a good experience.

The tour guide was extremely professional, placed great emphasis on everyone's safety, and shared information and history about the glacier. I was initially worried that I wouldn't have the stamina for the 6-hour tour, but actually, after every stretch of walking, the guide would stop to share various information, which gave everyone a chance to catch their breath. The scenery is truly beautiful and well worth a visit.

A great experience (particularly the ice climbing) and well organised day. The guide for the ice climbing, Steven, was knowledgable, safety concious and thorough in his explanations that gave me the confidence to push myself into some incredible situations on the glacier. Were it not for his professionalism and attention to detail, I doubt I would have had the same experience. Highly recommend this for an adventure seeking day up close to the glacier, especially if Steven is at the helm!

This is the best day trip among other 4 day trips I had in iceland. It is a small group tour operate by big bus tour using jeep entering the highlands through f roads n river crossing. Laudmannalaugar is hiker paradise with different hiking trails from easy, moderate and hard. Our group split into 2 teams when some experienced hikers go for moderate trail by themselves, while most of us choosing easy trail and our guide bring us go and take care of us well. The hike is not hard, most are flat terrain with few steep up and down. But highly recommend to wear hiking shoes with mega grip. Normal person without any medical condition will have no issue with the hike. it's 4km and we spent 2 hours to slowly walk and take photos as the scenery is too beautiful, it is like in another planet. Our guide is very good. We continue to other stops to see canyon, waterfalls, viking house without any hurry. This tour is a very long day tour but absolutely worth it ended 9pm+. Definitely recommend it.

Good experience thanks to Alessio, captain and crew from special tours - managed to see 2 humpback whales & 2 mica whales! Thankfully the captain was skilled and reversed when the whale was near us, unlike other smaller boats who charge towards the whale...

We were picked up on time, but the local bus driver was quite casual and might change your drop-off location based on traffic conditions. On that day, instead of being taken directly back to the bus terminal to transfer to the shuttle to the hotel, the driver suddenly announced along the way that it was too late to go to the terminal and canceled the trip there. Everyone was dropped off at a bus stop in the city center that the driver deemed convenient for returning to the hotel (though it was still a 20-minute journey from our hotel). Only after we asked did he drop us off at another closer bus stop (which was still a seven-minute walk back to the hotel). Although this saved the time of transferring and waiting at the terminal, the actual experience felt like we almost paid to be abandoned halfway (especially since you didn't even know where you were). It felt like their transportation service is handled quite casually.

Great guided tour! This excursion featured a 1 hr car ride to the glacier, 15 min walk to the glacier itself, and roughly 30 mins of touring the cave. Please be mindful of the area and keep with your group since there are several other companies that share the same route and have the same orange helmet safety gear for its visitors. The meet up spot was with a car labeled artic adventure and check in was pretty easy and prompt!

This is my first time ever to go horse riding. it's an amazing experience. the Iceland horses are a little smaller than regular horse and they are very gentle. the coach guided the whole team well and have them remain in a line. really recommend this activity to enjoy horse riding while also seeing the scenic Iceland!

An indescribably wonderful trip and the best day tour I have ever taken. First of all, the bus tour guide himself had white hair and wore a traditional Icelandic patterned wool sweater, looking like a Viking stepped right into reality and instantly creating a strong sense of immersion. Along the way, we saw the magnificent daytime waterfall shining brightly under the brilliant sunshine. When taking the boat tour of the glacier lagoon, the captain gave each of us a piece of transparent, thousand-year-old iceberg to hold for photos. The apocalyptic feel of Diamond Beach was then brought to life with a ray of bright sunshine. We enjoyed delicious volcanic rock black pizza and endless refills of soup in a bread bowl in the town of Vik. We saw the Seljalandsfoss waterfall at night, surrounded by stars and the aurora borealis amidst the mountains—a rare and wonderful experience in a lifetime. On the way back, we were very lucky to encounter a major aurora outburst. The guide said that according to the rules, he was supposed to return the bus on time without stopping, but he felt we shouldn't miss such a gorgeous aurora, so he decided to take the risk to give us a lucky moment! He finally found a super viewing platform, and we all stopped to capture the most stunning night of the northern lights. It was an extremely memorable journey. Plus, there was free Wi-Fi throughout the entire trip, and the heating was so warm that wearing just a single sweater inside the bus was more than enough. The guide not only introduced every attraction to us, but before parting ways, he also shared his favorite local itinerary as an Icelandic native, including municipal hot springs, sculpture art, and the whale museum, among others. All in all, it was a perfect journey combining nature and culture, entirely deserving of a full score. If you are staying in Reykjavik, taking a tour like this means you won't miss a thing on the South Coast.
